I remember when my Dad was excited to have 32 kilo-bytes of RAM and a tape drive for storage.
That's only 40 years ago

I used to have around 1TB in my gaming PC until a couple of years ago. It used to be enough until fairly recently. Imagine my shock when they were giving away Ark Survival Evolved for free on Steam a year or two ago and just installing the base game and free expansions took 350GB and somebody told me if you buy the paid DLC, it needs over 500GB. Most games I play average between 6GB and 20GB(that includes JRPGs that hold me for over 200h) and even games with really big worlds like Witcher 3 only need around 50GB with all expansions! To me it feels like the unreasonably increased space hogging is unjustified compared to the small improvements of graphics that you can hardly even see without a magnifier. I upgraded the HDD to 2TB and added a couple of SSDs over time(2x2TB NVME and a 1TB SATA). Most of that space is empty right now, but I think it's enough to last me some years.
Now on my multimedia PC I mostly use external HDDs to store movies and series and if one is full, I can just get another.

As a gamer i find myself needing roughly 4tb and thats with deleting things im done with.

Don’t forget the 30tb 2.5” u.2 or 100tb nimbus exadrive, not exactly consumer drives but they exist

my home server is currently hosting 220 TB and I'm planning to add another hundred terabytes of space during the first quarter of next year I like the idea of ceramic storage but I think it's going to be restricted to Enterprise level data centers

[mrskeleton]

its a funny thought that when we're all old and senile we'll be telling the new generations about how 150 gigs for a game was utterly ridiculous, as they complain about how unbearably slow 10 gigabit is

[Stormkindle]

I currently am running 13 Terabytes and I am quickly running out of space for those drives. That said my PC will be undergoing a refit here probably in a year and a half or sooner fates willing

But can you edit the data once it has been written to the ceramic drive ?

[valsharess-yt]

Well, I have over 30tb in my desktop. 1/3 of that is NVME.

i dont think the issue is size, as like you said you can multi able drives, its read and write, i mean the people using up space are gamers as a single can take up over 200 GB and some wont even function HDD or SSHD speeds, and only function marginally well with SATA SSDs, 5000 mb a sec. vs vs 200 mb per sec. makes any mechanic drive profoundly obsolete .
